If so where can I get instructions on how to hook it up? Does not look like any of the wiring or adapter will fit the outlet on the floppy drive.

Solution WyomingKnott Jan 20, 2011 Nope. The connector and cable for floppy drives and EIDE drives were always different. Pick up a USB floppy drive something like http://www.compusa.com/applications/searchtools/item-Details.asp?EdpNo=2143215&sku=D15-1078 http://www.jr.com/ultra-products/pe/ULR_ULT40366/ http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16821118001&cm_re=usb_floppy_drive-_-21-118-001-_-Product
